What is it? (Google Drive)
Google Drive is a file hosting service. It was introduced by Google on April 24, 2012.
My Drive is the folder that holds the files and folders you create. To access your files from different devices, sign
in to your Google Account.
What will I see in My Drive?
¡ñ Files and folders you upload or sync.
¡ñ Google Docs, Sheets, and ºÝºÝߣs you create.
Each user has 15 gigabytes of free space to store their files, expandable through different payment plans. It is accessible
through the website from computers and has Android and iOS applications that allow editing of documents and
spreadsheets.
What is it? (Google Docs)
Google Docs is a free Web-based application in which documents and spreadsheets can be created,
edited and stored online. Files can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection and a full-
featured Web browser. Google Docs is a part of a comprehensive package of online applications offered
by and associated with Google.
Users of Google Docs can import, create, edit and update documents and spreadsheets in various fonts and
file formats, combining text with formulas, lists, tables and images.
Google Docs lends itself to collaborative projects in which multiple authors work together in real time from
geographically diverse locations. All participants can see who made specific document changes and when
those alterations were done.
